The win for Cornell (12-16, 6-8 Ivy) allows the Big Red to finish the year with twice as many wins as last year, both overall and in Ivy play. The victory also gave the Red a winning record at home (7-6).

After a first half that saw five ties and three lead changes, Cornell took a 32-27 lead into halftime. From then on, it was all Big Red.

The home team began the second half on a 17-0 run and never looked back, holding Columbia scoreless until a Taylor Ward three with 12:39 left in the game.

Munson added six rebounds, three steals, two blocks and an assist in her only start of the season. Munson finishes her career 12th on the all-time Big Red blocks list with 44, behind Clare Fitzpatrick (48) and Kristina Danielak (49).

Anyanwu also ended her Cornell career with a solid game, with eight points, five rebounds, two steals and an assist.

The Bulldogs (16-10, 8-4 Ivy) opened the game on an 11-0 run; Cornell (11-14, 5-6 Ivy) cut the deficit to 13-9, but would come no closer.

Maka Anyanwu tallied a game-high 17 points and collected six rebounds in a losing effort for the Red. Allyson DiMagno and Taylor Flynn recorded 11 points each. Clare Fitzpatrick had six points and a game-high 10 rebounds.

Nine players got on the score sheet for the Bulldogs, including 13 points from Janna Graf and 12 points each from Michelle Cashen and Megan Vasquez.

Cornell will play its final road games of the season at Dartmouth and Harvard next weekend, and will wrap up the regular season by hosting Columbia on Tuesday March 6.

Ithaca, NY - Clare Fitzpatrick's layup with three seconds left in regulation turned out to be the game-winning shot as the Big Red edged Brown 51-50 in a tightly contested game Friday night at Newman Arena.

In a game that saw nine ties and 15 lead changes, the Big Red (11-13, 5-5 Ivy) embarked on a 7-0 run early in the second half to transform a 25-25 halftime tie into a 38-31 lead nearly five minutes into the frame. The Bears (15-10, 6-5 Ivy) would answer with a 9-0 run of its own, and the two teams would essentially trade baskets for the rest of the contest.

Shelby Lyman went 3-8 from beyond the arc and finished with a team-high 13 points on the night; Fitzpatrick added nine points and seven rebounds and Allyson DiMagno contributed seven rebounds, five points, three assists and three steals.
